The game is good, like if megabonk and deeprock had a baby, but it is very clearly early access. The game loop is fun but is lacking in a few areas for sure 1. Randomize waves a little more. After unlocking the next tier for a map, its boring to have the exact same stuff getting thrown at you every time. I get theres an escalation like with bomb guys, but knowing what to expect every round ruins some of re-run aspects. 2. Torches. This game desperately needs a way to mark your caves to help you find the way out 3. a ping system. A way to ping areas for teammates that they can see through walls to help navigate 4. Multiplayer pause. If youre playing with a friend and they need to ♥♥♥♥ halfway through the match, youre ♥♥♥♥♥♥. It takes like an hour for a full run and to not have any option to pause is kind of nuts. 5. Dig speed shouldnt be tied to a ring. More than half the game is digging, if dig speed is tied to a ring slot then you basically always need a dig ring so thats a waste of a slot. Just make dig speed progress as you level up, get rid of dig ring entirely. 6. Variety. More weapons (maces, shields + 1 hander, spear, flail, fire bombs, etc.) Cosmetics to unlock as you play. 7. Playing as archer/ranged seems a little broken. You sit on the wall and destroy everything. Maybe make it so you have to be on the battlefield to attack, giving archers/ranged classes a little nerf. Overall the aesthetics are great, the loop is fun, and the game is unique. I hope to see more from the devs and the roadmap seems like its pointed in the right direction. Rogue-likes need variety and i'd love to see lots more of that. PLEASE ADD A MULTIPLAYER PAUSE FUNCTION PLLLLEEEAAASSEEEEEE
Great game so far, really enjoying the gameplay loop and difficulty. Couple suggestions: - Multiplayer pause option. Very frustrating to lose a run when someone has the runs - More weapon variety - Explain more about how rings, ring slots, and tomes work. You can figure it out on your own over time, but it would help to understand the relationship between the upgrades and the rings earlier on
Very cute light game with rogue lite mechanics and progression. All mechanics are simple but work. Core gameplay loop is solid, you'll know if you like it within an hour or so of gameplay. You mine a procedurally generated area that becomes progressively more hard to mine while revealing more valuable ores. There's ores randomly distributed throughout, and there's rooms with treasure. You drop the ores into the forge to get in-run upgrades. You fight the incoming wave with simple hack-and-slash, block combat. There's melee, ranged and scrolls for combat. I'm looking forward to more content and more depth for both mining and combat. - More things to do with materials besides throwing them in the forge for upgrades. At the moment, you can buy some potions (but they're kinda underwhelming), can use stone to repair the wall, and wood to make arrows. But I'd prefer to turn some into meta progression mats instead, for instance. - More interesting combat mechanics (parries, shields, dashes). - Improved sound effects (super basic at the moment, there's little there at all besides music) - More weapons and weapon progression. I'm not sure how it works right now, but it seems that the weapon I use scales so there's little incentive to do anything but recycle all the others. - Improved inventory system. Not enough slots so there's a lot of running around, especially as enemies end up dropping lots of weapons that recycle for very little. - More personality for the dwarves would be great.
I've been waiting for this game since the demo was released, an interesting game that takes hours of your life because of its vibe and at least its beautiful design. I believe this game still has a lot ahead, and I wish the developers lots of energy and imagination for new innovations.!!
